Simple.  GS/OS provides you with 32 different prefixes.  Use them!!
Set some prefix of your choosing (except 1and 9, which are reserved) to
the target directory.  For instance, use the SetPrefix call to set
prefix 2 to point to the target directory.  Then, to refer to a file
there, refer to the file "2/filename."  GS/OS will resolve the prefix
automatically.  If you need to display the full name, you can use the
ExpandPath call or the GetPrefix call to find out what's in prefix 2.
